The Australia international has played in three of Dortmund's five games in the competition this season, although he did not feature in the quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt or the semi-final against Wolfsburg.

Langerak has been named in Australia's provisional squad for the FIFA World Cup and is in contention to start for his country at the tournament in Brazil next month.

However, the 25-year-old will not have the chance to feature in the DFB-Pokal showpiece at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Regular goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller is expected to start, while Zlatan Alomerovic will deputise for Langerak on the bench.
